About The Brand: Ardnamurchan

On the Ardnamurchan peninsula of Lochaber in the Highlands of Scotland, there is a Scotch whiskey distillery called the Ardnamurchan distillery. The distillery, which derives its name from the peninsula, is one of Scotland's most isolated. The independent bottling firm Adelphi constructed and is the owner of the distillery. The local council gave its approval to the distillery's plans in April 2012 after they were presented in 2011. The distillery's construction started in 2013 and was finished in May 2014. 2014 saw the start of production for Ardnamurchan. 2017 was the formal release of the distillery's first whisky, which satisfied the 3-year legal criteria. In 2018, Ardnamurchan whiskey barrels were donated to local youngsters as a charitable present. The distillery has around 10,000 barrels filled by the year 2020. To lessen the distillery's carbon footprint, renewable energy is used to power it. It is run by hydroelectric power as well as a sizable biomass boiler that burns wood from the surrounding Ardnamurchan forest. The distillery's floor maltings are heated by the boiler. The distillery uses the Glenmore river as a source for cooling water and takes water for its whiskey production from springs above the facility.
